"Tears For Everything" a Hook original

[Hook]

Yet another tune on this 4 string wonder of an instrument. Wrote this over the last 2 days after watching "Tuesday's With Morrie". A bit sappy I know but it was a pretty good movie and so a song I wrote. This is my baritone uke with GCEA strings so it has the same register as a soprano with the warm tone and playability of the baritone. I also borrowed an electric drum kit so I'm actually playing the drums. It's a Yamaha DTExpress2 and one cymbal pad is a little wonky so very few crash cymbals in this tune. I'm not the best drummer, uke player, bass player or singer so with that said...enjoy!
 4 tracks of baritone uke-2 rythm,2 lead, 1 bass track, 1 vocal track, 1 drum track

Tears For Everything

It seems that I have tears for everything
How can I be sure that I've learned anything?

            There's a little bird on my shoulder
            She sings a sweet,  sweet sad song
            Just to remind me of the little time that's left
            To make right all that I've done wrong

It seems that I have a fear of everything
But I've never been one to face my fears

             Chorus

It seems that now I can't clear the path that I must take

              Chorus

It seems that I have tears for everything
How can I be sure that I've learned anything?

Sublime. Those chord changes are dreamy, and the melody of the vocal is just so damn haunting. Again, I can hear a bit of Elvis Costello in your phrasing and singing-style (not a bad thing!).  Impressive uke soloing too! This is killer.

oh so cool, 'sublime' is the word, loved this one Hook.. and more Uke, I get more intrigued every time I hear an SC use them

excellent!

Man, I totally dig it. I'll never be able to play my uke like this, because I just stare at it.

[Geir]

Fantastic !!

Wonderful wonderful melody, and the performance is stunning !!

Yes, like Greeny,  I get the EC feel again, and that's not a bad thing at all !

I listened to this on the "Latest Songs" jukebox, and had no idea this was a uke song.

Beautiful lyrics, playing, recording.

I'm a big fan of songs where the character is looking backward with perspective and maturity. I can't write a song like that, lacking as I am perspective and maturity.

[Gnasty]

Oh yeah nice on again Hook. Beautiful and melodic!!

You turned those ukes up this time! Yes that`s much better.

[Rata-tat-tat]

Them Ukes are sounding lovely Hook. Sounds as if you've been drumming for a while... very killer track. Love it.

[Hook]

Thanks for the kind words, I've listened to this a few times today and I'm pretty happy with it so your comments are really validating. 
Greeny/Geir- A comparison to Elvis Costello is about the nicest compliment I can imagine so thanks!
Andy- Get a uke, everybody's doin' it!

I can't write a song like that, lacking as I am perspective and maturity.

You don't have to have something to write about it!

You turned those ukes up this time! 

I got to remix that other one , I hate re-mixing!

Sounds as if you've been drumming for a while...

I was the drummer for my 1st high school band long ago ( I had $300 to by a cheap set) and I can keep a beat w/ some simple fills here and there but I'm half-assed at best. My feet, hands, brain & sense of coordination are what limit me mostly!

Thanks again for listening and commenting I know this place & you other writers are not only inspiring me to write/record more but I believe it's really improving the quality of my songs and recordings and that's cool...thanks!

Another classic Hook, love the left and right noodling/solos with the ukes, the Baritone sounds great. The drums come across good too, well played.

Yep I can hear the EC a little again in your voice, wonderful!
